tried a search and could not find anything. Just wondering what colour the French used for their narrow gauge trains near the front. I am currently designing some 3D printed narrow gauge railway models in 1/35 scale. Fairly happy with British colours, suspect French will probably be similar.

To show that it hasen't I've taken the opportunity to show you all what I like to...
